Hiring a travel advisor is not just about saving the time of planning the trip yourself. It’s about personalization. Here are some examples of what I do, and how partnering with me can help you achieve your dream vacation:

Destination Expertise  

I am passionate about understanding the destinations that I book, often visiting them personally. Being a travel leader allows me in turn to provide personalized recommendations based on my deep knowledge, making your travel experience more rewarding.

Industry Connections  

I have deep networks of industry connections. Thus, even if I haven’t visited a particular destination, I can still provide insider insights and off-the-beaten-path recommendations by consulting with my partners.

Special Offers and VIP Amenities                                           

Working with me often leads to exclusive perks and discounts, such as complimentary upgrades to the room with a view, resort credits, and exclusive promotions. I leverage my partnerships to provide you with exceptional value.

Time-Saving Benefits                                                                         

I will save you countless hours of research and planning. I streamline the process, allowing you to express your travel desires during an initial questionnaire and call, and then I take that information to craft your itinerary.

Unique Experiences                                                                           

I ensure that your trip goes beyond cookie-cutter experiences. Whether you seek family-friendly adventures or off-the-grid honeymoons, I can help you avoid generic options and spend your money on worthwhile excursions.

Itinerary Customization                                                            

Imagine being handed a fully customized itinerary, tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. I make your trip shine through the details and thoughtful organization of your daily schedule.

Assistance with Emergencies and Delays                                 

I can also assist during emergencies and delays while you’re traveling, offering a level of customer service you won’t get when going it alone. Whether it’s flight rescheduling or navigating travel insurance, you can keep enjoying your trip while I help to identify solutions.

Stress-Free Trip Planning and Execution                               

I promise to eliminate the stress of information overload and decision-making uncertainty. I provide peace of mind through expert advice and attention to details, ensuring your itinerary reflects your aspirations.

How do Travel Agents Get Paid?

Travel agents get paid through a combination of trip design fees and commissions. Most hotels and tour operators bake travel advisors into their rates. Travelers pay the same as they would if they booked directly with the hotel or tour operator, but 5-15% of the base cost typically goes to the travel advisor who secured the booking.
